Content
Describing the content of a resource is critical for supporting parameter searches and for unambiguously identifying resources that include identical parameters.| Concept | Description | Dialect (Fit) Paths |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage Content Type | An item from a shared vocabulary of content types: image, thematicClassification, physicalMeasurement, auxiliaryInformation, qualityInformation, referenceInformation, modelResult | ISO /*/gmd:contentInfo/gmd:MD_CoverageDescription/gmd:contentType/gmd:MD_CoverageContentTypeCode ISO-1 /mdb:MD_Metadata/mdb:contentInfo/mrc:MD_CoverageDescription/mrc:attributeGroup/mrc:MD_AttributeGroup/mrc:contentType/mrc:MD_CoverageContentTypeCode netCDF /nc:netcdf/nc:variable/nc:attribute[@nc:name=coverage_content_type]/@nc:value |
| Parameter Name | The name of a parameter included in the resource. Intended to be used by applications accessing a variable in a file. | ISO /*/gmd:contentInfo/gmd:MD_CoverageDescription/gmd:dimension/gmd:MD_Band/gmd:sequenceIdentifier/gco:MemberName/gco:aName/gco:CharacterString ISO-1 /mdb:MD_Metadata/mdb:contentInfo/mrc:MD_CoverageDescription/mrc:attributeGroup/mrc:MD_AttributeGroup/mrc:attribute/mrc:MD_SampleDimension/mrc:sequenceIdentifier/gco:MemberName/gco:aName/gco:CharacterString netCDF /nc:netcdf/nc:variable/@name |
| Parameter Name (Long) | The long name of a parameter included in the resource. Intended to be used as an axis lable in a plot. | netCDF /nc:netcdf/nc:variable/nc:attribute[@nc:name='long_name']/@nc:value |
| Parameter Name (Standard) | The name of a parameter included in the resource from a standard vocabulary. | ISO-1 /mdb:MD_Metadata/mdb:contentInfo/mrc:MD_CoverageDescription/mrc:attributeGroup/mrc:MD_AttributeGroup/mrc:attribute/*/mrc:name/mcc:MD_Identifier/mcc:code/gco:CharacterString netCDF /nc:netcdf/nc:variable/nc:attribute[@nc:name='standard_name']/@nc:value |
| Parameter Definition | The definition/description of a parameter included in the resource. | ISO /*/gmd:contentInfo/gmd:MD_CoverageDescription/gmd:dimension/gmd:MD_Band/gmd:descriptor/gco:CharacterString ISO-1 /mdb:MD_Metadata/mdb:contentInfo/mrc:MD_CoverageDescription/mrc:attributeGroup/mrc:MD_AttributeGroup/mrc:attribute/*/mrc:description/gco:CharacterString netCDF /nc:netcdf/nc:variable/nc:attribute[@nc:name='description']/@nc:value |
| Parameter Units | The units of a parameter included in the resource. | ISO /*/gmd:contentInfo/gmd:MD_CoverageDescription/gmd:dimension/gmd:MD_Band/gmd:units ISO-1 /mdb:MD_Metadata/mdb:contentInfo/mrc:MD_CoverageDescription/mrc:attributeGroup/mrc:MD_AttributeGroup/mrc:attribute/mrc:MD_SampleDimension/mrc:units netCDF /nc:netcdf/nc:variable/nc:attribute[@nc:name='units']/@nc:value |
xPath Note: The xPaths included in this table use several wildcards. // means any path, so //gmd:CI_ResponsibleParty indicates a gmd:CI_ResponsibleParty anywhere in an XML file. /*/ indicates a single level with several possible elements. This usually indicates one of several concrete realizations of an abstract object. For example /*/gmd:identificationInfo could be gmd:MD_Metadata/gmd:identificationInfo or gmi:MI_Metadata/gmd:identificationInfo and gmd:identificationInfo//*/gmd:descriptiveKeywords could be gmd:identificationInfo/gmd:MD_DataIdentification/gmd:descriptiveKeywords or gmd:identificationInfo/srv:SV_ServiceIdentification/gmd:descriptiveKeywords.
